Cordyceps formosana Cordyceps formosana Kobayasi & Shimizu

Hosts.

Tenebrionoidea larvae ( Li et al. 2002, 2016).

Known distribution.

China (Anhui, Fujian, Hunan, Taiwan) ( Kobayasi and Shimizu 1981; Li et al. 2002, 2016).

Notes.

The host of the species was originally recorded as a Coleoptera larva ( Kobayasi and Shimizu 1981). According to the illustration by Shimizu (1997), it appears to be a Tenebrionoidea larva. Li et al. (2002) identified the host of their collection as a Tenebrionidae larva. We cautiously identify these hosts as Tenebrionoidea larvae (used in Li et al. 2016).
